Vanstar Completes High Resolution Magnetic Survey on Felix and Increases Drill Program
10 Fevereiro 2021 - 9:00AM
Vanstar Mining Resources (TSX.V - VSR) is pleased to announce it
has completed a high-resolution magnetic geophysical survey on its
Felix Project located in the Quebec Abitibi Greenstone Belt. In
combination with the survey that was completed in June of 2020, the
new survey was flown over 37.2 km2 with 25 meters spacing,
providing much higher resolution and granularity of key structures
on the property than was seen in previous magnetic surveys. The
survey has identified a number of structures that are interpreted
to be banded iron formations. Also visible are faults and folds
that can act as structural traps. The map in Figure 1 shows the
high-resolution magnetic survey images as well as the 10 planned
holes of the drill program launched in January 2021.

In the western portion of the property, a cluster of MEGATEM
conductors occurs in a drag fold in the main iron formation along
with a significant decrease of the magnetic response of the iron
formation. This suggests that a sulphidation of the iron formation
might have occurred. The sulphidation of the iron formation coupled
with structural features makes this area prospective for gold.
Accordingly, we have increased our drill program from 2,500 m to
3,000 m to test this area with drilling.
Banded iron formation (BIF)-hosted gold deposits are
structurally controlled stratabound deposits that represent one of
the main targets for gold exploration in the northern part of the
Precambrian Canadian Shield as demonstrated by current producers
such as the Musselwhite (Newmont), Meadowbank and Meliadine mines
(Agnico-Eagle).
About the Felix Project
The Felix project is located in an environment
of volcanosedimentary origin comprising a unit of volcanic rock in
the north, another in the south and the central part is occupied by
sedimentary rocks. Late intrusions in the form of batholiths,
plutons or dikes are also noted all around the property. The
property rests mainly on the rocks of the Chicobi Group. The
sedimentary basin contains mudstones and graphitic turbiditic
sandstones, with a minor magnetite-chert and hematite-jasper banded
iron formation and a conglomerate. A significant Algoma-type iron
formation is present in the northern part of the property. The gold
grades intersected in the historic drilling are located near the
southern contact of the latter. In addition, the Chicobi-Nord
regional fault crosses the northern part of the property. This
fault, of regional dimension, borders the Normetal mining camp to
the south. The project is located in the eastern extension of this
mining camp where there are former massive sulphide mines and
numerous gold showings, such as those of the former Perron gold
mine which are actively worked on by Amex Exploration. Shear zones
parallel to the Chicobi-Nord fault are also found in the sediments
of the Chicobi Group and as evidenced by the Authier gold showings
located west of the property.
